+ WORKSHOP FORMAT
In this 2 day workshop there will be an opportunity to explore and experience a condensed version of Tom's approach to rehearsals and process – including script analysis, creating character, and how to vividly bring both to life. It’ll be a chance to jump into a specific scene with detail and guidance.
Having looked at your Spotlight CV beforehand, Tom will put you into groups. During the 2 days, there will be time to explore a play together as a company, before moving on to work on and rehearse your own individual scenes in your groups, perform them, receive feedback and direction. All within a focused, creative and supportive environment.
